The goal is to construct a mass collage of official Bokumono characters made up of artwork drawn by all of us! I will take the 2 weeks before the 30th Anniversary (7th August 2026) to format everything and put everything together.

Whew! Couldn't ask for better weather!~

My contribution for the Rune Factory 20th anniversary project with my bestest boy, Carlos from Rune Factory 3~

[ #croquisdennui / #fanart / #runefactory / #rf3 / #rf3carlos ]

A digital illustration of Carlos (a man with tan skin and red tattoos, his green hair tied haphazardly with striped yellow, white and brown fabric. He wears a tattered sleeveless shirt and baggy red pants, furs around his hips held together with a brown belt) , from Rune Factory 3 holding two deceased fish.

#OC-tober day 9 - "Inventory"

This isn't as ambitious and detailed as I wanted it to be, had to draw this in bits today because of hurty arm. 😔

I thought about baking kit but decided to draw a few of the cute things Wynter likes to carry around. 🙂‍↕️💜

#bweirdoctober2025 #wyntersong #wynter #doodle

Drawing of some of Wynter's cute accessories!

Purple handbag with a Wyntersong flower pin attached to it (I want that pin now)

Purple bunny plush, named Slice (if I had more time and less hurty arm I'd have shown Slice being somewhat old and loved...)

3 plush bag charms, a croissant, a slice of toast and a baguette. (some of you may recognise these)

Wynter's phone with a purple case and the Wyntersong flower on it. And bread. Because of course.

Finally, a grinning Wynter because I don't need an excuse to draw her. 💜💜💜

I think I prefer ladybird season to flying ant day... ¦D That said, that's only 1 day and they're magically gone... ladybird season lasts a little longer, I think? That sounds like a horrible beach experience though! 😱

IT'S OCTOBER YIPPIEEEE (is 8 days late)
I put Aeneas and Cassie in costumes for the occasion! 🙂‍↕️🧛‍♂️🧹

#oc #ocart #ocsky #art #digitalart #drawing #artsky #halloween

Aeneas is dressed as a vampire while Cassie is dressed as a witch for Halloween. Aeneas is creating his ghost-like katana, while Cassie is casting her blue fire magic. They're in a dark environment with a bright, large moon in the background.

Close enough. Welcome back, 2004 Karol.

I am so rusty with traditional media. Also my scanner over sharpened this like crazy??

A particularly spiky-haired Karol, aka 'Karis', drawn in ballpoint pen.

I have thousands of dollars of art materials and I still choose a 4-color ballpoint pen like an absolute gremlin.

Day 8 of #eerietober2025 Familiars

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told

Wait isn’t there more to this poem? Maybe we’ll find out another day

#Posttober25 Day 8

I’ve been trying to do colored versions of some of the B-SIDE You track covers! Here’s Track 5 :D

A predominantly red illustration of a young brunette man with glasses seated before the keys of a piano. He holds his hands over it tentatively, looking apprehensive. Behind him, shrouded behind a spotlight, are two thin young men standing back to back. On the left is a blonde man in a white shirt holding a camera and looking over his shoulder out at the viewer. On the right is a guy with a big fluffy mohawk haircut, wearing a red vinyl catsuit a la Britney Spears in the “Oops! I Did It Again” music video. The text at the bottom of the page, under the piano keys, is dark red and says "B-SIDE YOU"

YUP, he sure is like that XD Hahaha, thank-you, Skyefrost! 💜 I'm really glad you like him! =)

For your OCs... I don't think I've really met them yet!! =o You're gonna have to put them into my eyeballs and give me names so I can start getting to know them properly! 👀

Dexter McKinnery @dexmckinnery.com · 16h

Haha, he sure is! XD Thank-you, UFO! 🥹 Tudy is a favourite of mine, too X) I think a lot of my characters fall under "just a guy" now, though! XD

Like I said, my favourite of your OCs so far is Joshie! =D Though I really do love the designs of others you've been showing recently! =)

Dexter McKinnery @dexmckinnery.com · 16h
